Does somebody has experience with this camera, mainly for use on location?
I know it's a very well designed and extremely well built camera with a lot of possibilities, and I think it was primary designed for digital application but I would use it solely with film.
I can buy a used one equipped for film, with a Apo-Symmar 100mm and Mamiya roll filmback type I 6x7, which is basic to beging with, at a rather acceptable price (*).
And, if I mount a wide angle bellows, do I still need a recessed lens board for wide angle lenses like the Super-Angulon 47mm?
BTW, is there an evenly good alternative (and easy to find used in Europe)?
(*) To finance this I will have to sell my Linhof Kardan GT 4"x5", 4 lenses, very large (professional-) amount of accessories and 20 sheet holders, a really fully equipped set. But, I am still contemplating...
I don't like to shoot sheet film any more, for me it became too cumbersome to handle on the move, and roll film is much more practical (and less costly).
